Green means 4 kids attire

ABSTRACT

The following information relates to new process of recycling garments. Although the concept of recycling garments is not new, the new process and the results of those process are both new and unexpected. Rarely is the recycling of garments as practical and as easy as the process to be presented. Additionally, these process of recycling can enable apparel manufacturers, sewing boutiques, and even home sewers, to save money and time. Benefits include sewing as little as possible while having the effect that much sewing has taken place. Another gain includes the prospect of recycling garments that failed quality control inspections due to slight imperfections. By utilizing the new process, a marketable children&#39;s apparel line can emerge, from what would normally be a loss. Consider the benefits of a new children&#39;s apparel line almost completely sewn before the recycling process begin.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present discovery generally relates to an improved process ofrecycling existing garments and or garment parts, for the production ofmarketable smaller garments and garment related wear. Said process ofrecycling garments contains several processes that can be performedsimultaneously, or in part, as opportunity for recycling presentsitself. Although home sewers would greatly benefit from said recyclingprocess, petitioner directs said improved process of recycling towardthe garment manufacturing sector. Said process of recycling garments isideal for creating capital from what would otherwise be corporationloss.

2. Description of Related Art

Present petitioner owns U.S. D465,316 S which illustrates one preferredembodiment of said process of garment recycling. After entering theUSPTO Web site, petitioner was able to view the References Cited in saiddesign patent number: U.S. D465,316 S. Only three of the citedreferences were related to children's clothing. None of the citings weresimilar to the varied embodiments created from employing said improvedprocess of recycling garments. In essence, nearly all of the embodimentsof said process of recycling look nearly like ordinary children'sclothing. End products of said process of recycling garments include butare not limited to: outer wear; day wear; sleep wear; shirts; pants;shorts; pinafores; dresses; hats; accessories; including embodimentsets, having a top and bottom that detachably fasten by means of buttonor snap detachable fasteners.

RE8,093 E, by Woodward was created for men's overalls. U.S. Pat. No.1,204,719 A, by Van Husen was in connection with ladies wear.

U.S. Pat. No. 1,367,182 A, by Gardi has an adjustable waist for ladiesactive wear.

U.S. Pat. No. 1,405,405 A by Gendel was well presented and pleasant tothe eyes. It however, only pertained to children's outer wear.

U.S. Pat. No. 1,476,831 A, by Pease was very nice. Complexity of Pease'sinvention creates a doubt of convenience.

U.S. Pat. No. 2,252,884 A, Mr. Fellroth was a very clever man also.Petitioner especially liked his drop seat pants. In order forpetitioners embodiment sets to be fully functional, petitioner searchedfor a pattern or template that would accommodate drop seat pants. Mr.Fellroths invention helped petitioner see that an actual pattern was notneeded. A simple slit at the hip/side accomplished by means of cuttingand finishing, creates the drop down effect.

After searching for similar processes of garment recycling in old sewingmanuals, petitioner found pertinent information on pages 240-248 of TheNew Encyclopedia of Modern Sewing, copyright 1948 by WM. H. Wise andCO., Inc. The boys blouse on page 243 shows how petitioner currentlyplaces a front, back, side, or shoulder pattern piece in order toutilize the placket on nearly any recyclable garment. With the exceptionof the ladies jacket pages 245-248, particularly LAYOUT No. 1,petitioner noticed that pattern placement illustrations on pages 241-243do not include the practice of utilizing existing plackets. In addition,current petitioner uses sleeves for pants, bloomers, shorts, diapercovers, and the like. Furthermore, petitioner is persuaded that mostlayman would not perceive what they were viewing. Current petitioner hasa trained eye for how, why, and in what order a pattern should be placedon a garment for the purpose of recycling said garment. Petitioner foundthis information Sep. 6, 2006. As an aside, perhaps the only reasonpetitioner spotted the boys blouse pattern layout on page 243, isbecause said petitioner noticed the concept on page 247 under theheading: HOW TO MAKE A MANS SUIT INTO A WOMANS SUIT. Petitioner rereadpages of said book, pages 245-248 Dec. 13, 2007. Page 247 illustrates aladies suit made from a mans suit. The lapel closes from the leftindicating LAYOUT No. 1 does disclose a portion of one of petitionersprocess of recycling garments. The only reason petitioner gained a fullunderstanding of said disclosure is because of the lap of the suitillustrated on page 247.

Clearly, petitioners process of recycling garments accomplishesconsiderably more than previous inventions or processes cited.Petitioner concludes that a current, consistently successful, process ofrecycling garments, whether at the manufacturing level or that of thehome sewer, has not been established.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The following information relates to a new improved process of recyclinggarments. Nearly any garment is good for recycling into smallerclothing, hats and or accessories. Although the concept of recyclinggarments is not new, the results of employing said improved process ofrecycling garments are both new and unexpected. FIG. 1 provides anabbreviated flow chart of possible avenues of recycling garments.

Over decades, there has been a need in the garment/fashion industry foran improved process of recycling garments and the like. By adoptingpetitioners improved process of recycling garments, prospectivecompanies will reduce waste on the manufacturing level, reducingoverhead, while satisfying customers with a new product line createdfrom said improved process of recycling garments. New products will leadto an increase in new customers expanding the customer base as a whole.Petitioners improved process of recycling garments establishes a win/winsolution to what would otherwise be company losses.

It is an object of the present invention to sew as little as possiblewhile having the appearance the much sewing has taken place.

It is a further object of the present invention to capture any detailwithin said garment to be recycled and apply the same toward said newproduct.

It is another object of the present invention to reduce waste, on themanufacturing level by providing a recycling method that is practical,simple, time saving, and economic, that consistently results in said newattractive product line, thus creating capital from what would otherwisebe corporate loss.The present process of recycling garments accomplishes these desiredobjectives by the incorporation petitioners rule: Capitalize oncompleted work available. When capitalizing on completed work available,the need for constructing said mounted plackets, pockets, seamallowances for the inseam, side seams, and or hem treatments iseliminated because of proper pattern 70 piece or template placement.FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 illustratethe adoption of said rule.

FIG. 2 is used to illustrate many garments contain whole individualgarment parts having completed work. For instance said garment to berecycled: a body 20 side having a mounted placket 30, with or without acollar stand, a placket-less body 20 side, complementary sleeve pair 40,collar 50, pocket (s), hems, and even seams as found on nearly anygarment, are considered completed work that has been applied or mountedto the body of said garment by means of simple seam or the like. Bydemounting, rearranging, and or re-colligating said whole individualgarment parts having completed work, often using the body of saidgarment to be recycled as the body of the new product, a new productline can be created.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Begin with Nearly any Garment.

Nearly any garment having a mounted placket 30 body 20 side, with orwithout a collar stand, contiguous with said garment body 20 is genderspecific, thereby perpetually creating gender specific embodiments, orthe like. FIG. 2 illustrates the gender of said garment body 20 isdetermined by the lap of said mounted placket 30 and or collar stand50b. Hence, the use of shirts, skirts, dresses, coats and the like areincluded as garments that are good for recycling. Mounted placket 30placement on said garment body 20 is irrelevant; front, back, side, andor across the shoulders.

Using FIGS. 3 and 4 as guide, the same process of pattern 70 piece ortemplate placement for mounted plackets 30 is correct regardless of whatstyle of embodiment is going to be produced. Whether said mountedplacket 30 is a plurality of button or snap detachable fasteners or azipper, the center line found on said pattern 70 piece or template incombination with the center line of said mounted placket 30 is used as aguide to ensure proper pattern 70 piece or template placement.

Intentionally changing the gender of said garment body 20 is madepossible by reversing said pattern 70 piece or template placement. FIG.3 shows proper placement of said pattern 70r piece or template as bottomside up. Special consideration for nap, one way designs, and pocketsmust be applied if said pattern 70r piece or template reversal, is usedto change the gender of said garment body 20. Said pattern 70r piece ortemplate reversal is very beneficial on large gender specific garmentbodies 20, for example a jean skirt, or a soft camel hair coat, where agreeter quantity of embodiments can be produced by implementing saidpattern 70r piece or template reversal.

This is VERY important because the concept of pattern 70 piece ortemplate placement is so simple, it is easily misunderstood. In essence,only two pattern piece or template placements are used to created allstyles of embodiment tops. The number of embodiment styles created islimited only by the garments being recycled and manufacturersimagination, when adopting said rule: Capitalize on completed workavailable.

Proper pattern 70 piece or template placement is paramount tocapitalizing on said completed work available. Wherein said properpattern piece or template 70 placement on said mounted placket, with orwithout a collar stand being contiguous with said garment body 20, isKEY, integral, and most important to consistent success of said processof recycling garments preferably being performed before any otherpattern piece or template placement. In reality, the only essential taskis making sure said pattern piece or template 70 is placed correctly.Pattern 70 piece or template style, brand, and size are left to thediscretion of the reader.

At every stage of said recycling process, usable left over garment body20 parts can be saved if desired, or put to the side, for future use. Byrecycling more than one garment body 20 at a time, textures, colors, andaccents can be harmonized, enhancing both the performance and appeal ofsaid new embodiments. FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and16 used left over garment parts to create shorts, sleeves, skirts,accents, and bias binding.

Preferred Manner and Process of Recycling Garments

Embodiment Top:

An Embodiment Top is made possible when two pattern 70 pieces ortemplates are used as guides, being placed on one body side having aplacket and one placket-less body side for the purpose of cutting andre-assembly. Thus, creating two cut body sides ready for re-assembly.Said body sides are joined by predetermined means of colligation at theshoulders and sides. Said Embodiment top fits the trunk of a human body,resembling nearly any shirt, blouse, dress, pinafore, skirt, coat or thelike; that is capable of detachably fastening down the front, back,side, shoulder, or the like. FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15show the results of said colligation. FIG. 6 further illustrates the useof existing hems and placket seams with a frontal, back, side and anexploded interior and exterior view of an Embodiment Top.Mounted Placket Side of Garment Body 20: Use FIGS. 3, and 4, as a Guide:A. Turn said mounted placket side of garment body 20 inside out.B. Next, re-button said mounted placket side of garment body 20 placingthe rights sides of fabric together.C. On a cutting surface, smooth said mounted placket side of garmentbody 20 fabric away from said re-buttoned placket 30 in preparation forsaid pattern 70 piece or template.D. Place said pattern 70 piece or template aligning the buttonhole areadirectly over said re-buttoned placket 30 of mounted placket side ofgarment body 20, matching center lines if applicable, using FIGS. 3 and4 as an example. Said pattern piece or template reversal 70r isperformed during this step for said gender change of mounted placketside of garment body 20.E. Cut said mounted placket side of garment body 20 after said properpattern 70 piece or template placement and set to the side.Placket-Less Side of Garment Body 20: Use FIG. 5 as a Guide:F. On a cutting surface, smooth said placket-less side of garment body20 back having right side of fabric facing out.G. Center said pattern 70 piece or template in the top back yolk area ofsaid placket-less side of garment body 20.H. After proper pattern 70 piece or template placement, cut out saidplacket-less side of garment body 20.I. colligate the product of step H. to the product of step E. at theshoulders.J. If desired, obtain sleeve fabric from said garment body 20. Cut andsew a sleeve pair according to said pattern piece or templateinstructions. Attach said sleeve pair to said product of step I atshoulder seams by means of colligation.K. Colligate side seams.L. Hem product of step K if hem was not obtained during said pattern 70piece or template placement steps C. D. E. and G., and H. of mountedplacket body side and placket-less body side of Top. Embodiment Top isnow complete.

Embodiment Bottoms: Use FIG. 7 as a Guide.

An Embodiment Bottom is made possible when a pattern 70 piece ortemplate is placed on a complementary pair of prepared demounted sleevesand used as a guide for cutting and re-assembly. Thus, creating two cutsleeve sides that are joined by predetermined means of colligation atthe crotch curve. Embodiment Bottoms fit the trunk of a human bodyresembling nearly any pants, shorts, bloomers, diaper covers,pantaloons, and the like. FIGS. 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 showthe results of reconfiguring demounted sleeves.Embodiment Bottoms: Use FIG. 7 as an Example:A. Demount sleeve pair 40 from said garment Body 20 by means of dockingor cutting.B. Iron said demounted sleeve pair 40 flat beginning at demounted sleeveinseams (40a) and pressing outward toward the back in the same manner adry cleaners would place a crease in a business shirt. Having pressedsaid demounted sleeves 40, align said inseams (40a), outer edge crease,cuff plackets, cuffs, and hems facing each other, i.e. back to back orfront to front.C. On a cutting surface, using said demounted sleeve pair that wasprepared in step B, position appropriate pattern 70 piece or template,so that the dotted stitching line, located on said pattern 70 piece ortemplate, will fall directly on top of and align with the inseam 40a ofsaid demounted sleeve pair 40. The inseam of said embodiment bottoms,should correspond with said inseam 40a of said demounted sleeve pair 40.Said pattern 70 piece or template will appear too large for saiddemounted sleeve pair 40 to be recycled.D. Using said properly positioned pattern 70 piece or template as aguide, cut said crotch curve and leave enough space at the top of thesaid demounted sleeve pair 40 for turning down a casing or the like.E. Sew said Crotch Curve.F. Apply a turn down casing finish or the like, including means ofcincture. Embodiment Bottom is now complete.CAUTION: Placing said prepared demounted sleeve 40 inseam (40a) of stepB, on the outside of said embodiment bottoms, causes the naturallyoccurring creases created during said garment construction process, toperform less desirably.Other garments can also be recycled for the production of embodimentbottoms under the teachings of the present invention. For example, pantscan be cut off and used for smaller embodiment bottoms in the samemanner as demounted sleeves. Cut pant leg pairs off of pants at desiredlength and reconfigure said pant leg pairs using step B. C. D. E. and Fof Embodiment Bottoms, from the teachings of the present invention.

Embodiment Sets: Use FIGS. 2, 8, and 9 as a Guide:

Demounted plackets 30 having a plurality of button or snap detachablefasteners can be mounted horizontally to said embodiment top and bottomcreating detachably fastening embodiment sets. Said horizontal mountingof said demounted placket is one of many ways of using said demountedplacket. See FIG. 9 for vertical and horizontal placement of saiddemounted placket. Said FIGS. 2, 8, and 9 are provided as examples only,petitioner implores said reader to understand said demounted placketpotential is much broader than pictured.A. Begin with said garment body 20 having said mounted placket 30 bodyside, and a partially completed Embodiment Top and partially completedEmbodiment Bottom.B. Demount said placket 30 (FIG. 2 center demounted placket 30) for thepurpose of reconfiguration, leaving a seam allowance, or the like,lengthwise down both sides of said demounted placket 30. DO NOT CUT SAIDPLACKET 30!C. Completely unfasten said demounted placket 30 revealing saiddemounted placket 30 is composed of two corresponding members: female30a (buttonhole member) and male 30b (button member). Set demountedplacket to the side.D. For said drop down seat in said embodiment set, create and or extendslits at the side/hips of said Embodiment Bottoms during step E ofembodiment bottoms construction before or after said crotch curvecolligation. Said partially completed Embodiment Top and partiallycompleted Embodiment Bottom will be mounted or coupled with saidcorresponding placket members (30a and 30b) via said seam allowance orthe like, creating functional embodiments, that join horizontally viabutton or snap detachable fasteners at the waist, hip, bust, or thelike.

Said embodiment sets perform in a predictable manner. Said femaleplacket member 30a, being mounted to the bottoms of said embodiment set,works echelon with said male placket member 30b, being mounted to thetop of said embodiment set, meshing, overlapping, and engaging, enablingsaid plurality of button or snap detachable fasteners to attachhorizontally in a detachable manner. Skirts, created from garment body20, can also be mounted to said demounted female placket member 30a,creating skirt and shirt embodiment sets. An extended slit, for saiddrop-down seat, is not needed when mounting said female placket member30a to said skirt.

Demounted Button-down Collars can be reconfigured to resemble: HatBrims, Sleeve Cuff pairs, and Size Adjusters. FIGS. 2, 10, 11 and 14 areused as guide: Hat Brim: FIG. 10

A. Using nearly any garment body 20 and nearly any hat pattern 70,partially construct a hat by nearly any means, that utilizes a brim,leaving a seam allowance or the like for mounting purposes.
